I was doing a little work on the computer tonight (which I didn't feel like doing) and my mind started to wander. As most of you know if you've followed my blog over the years, I am a miniature wargamer. It's a wonderful hobby that I have enjoyed for quite some time. My thoughts drifted tonight to a few years back when I played a ton of Heroscape with my sons and with friends. It was always a great time with a few "friendly" arguments over rules along the way.
My kids grew up, friends moved away, life became more complicated, I got busier. Heroscape stopped being manufactured. Tile, terrain, dice, and figures got boxed and put away. For whatever reason, I thought about the game tonight and really missed it. I sat here for awhile wondering what was it about the game that made it so much fun to play.
I found this gem of an article that summed up the greatness of the game far better than I could have hoped to do. I would like to share it with you. If you were a player back in the day or maybe even still rolling shields and skulls, take a minute or two to read it. I'm sure you'll be nodding your head as you do and getting a wee bit nostalgic as well. Long live Heroscape!!!
